Coverys Integrates Member Companies’ Risk Management Programs

Boston, MA - July 2, 2012 - Coverys, a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance, has announced it is integrating its member company risk management programs into one all-encompassing, expanded program. These services will be available for all healthcare provider and medical facility policyholders to help improve patient safety and quality of care, and reduce medical errors and costs.

Coverys policyholders currently receive risk management services from three different offices with different approaches. The purpose of this integration is to identify and utilize the strengths of Coverys’ existing Risk Management Department and of Coverys member company Risk Management & Patient Safety Institute (RM&PSI). Throughout the ongoing integration there will be no disruption in risk management services for Coverys policyholders. Ultimately, the newly integrated Risk Management Department will be the result of much collaboration by company leadership and company risk management experts on the most timely and successful selection of services possible.

“With the evolving demands of healthcare reform and reimbursement guidelines, it is imperative to offer relevant products and services to our customers,” said Gregg L. Hanson, president and chief executive officer for Coverys. “As a result of the 2009 acquisition of FinCor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, RM&PSI, we have two highly acclaimed risk management programs. By combining these units under the Coverys name it ensures that our policyholders receive the best of what we have to offer, no matter where they are located.”
